Summary: "General Smith's Views of the Powers and Policy of the Government of the United States" by Joseph Smith is a political treatise written in the mid-19th century, specifically in 1844. This book serves as a commentary on the American government, focusing on issues of equality, liberty, and the systemic injustices present in society, as well as advocating for reforms to address these concerns. Through a passionate plea for unity and justice, the work encapsulates the ideals and challenges of its time as America grappled with issues surrounding slavery and governance. In this work, Joseph Smith articulates his views on the role of government and the importance of upholding the principles of the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. He criticizes the injustices faced by enslaved individuals and emphasizes the concept of equality before the law, asserting that every person, regardless of race, deserves rights and dignity. Smith calls for significant political reform, including the abolition of slavery and the establishment of a national bank, and urges citizens to take an active role in shaping their government. He expresses a deep concern for national unity and condemns the divisive practices of politicians aiming to gain power at the expense of the people's welfare.
